[The kiss catches him off-guard as well, though it's no less pleasant for it. He allows his eyes to slide closed, arms reaching out to wrap around Reign's back and hold him close.]
[But unlike Reign, Mephisto's thoughts are going in a slightly different direction. Just what was this, he wondered? He hadn't realized just how close Reign had grown to him these past months. The image of him crying over his bedside as he lay dying is not one likely to leave him soon...]
[But there's something else there too. A strange sinking feeling that he's made a mistake somewhere along the line. That this closeness between them was impermanent. That he's allowed Reign to grow too fond of him.]
[For a demon like Mephisto, to consider Reign a friend was already a fairly big gesture. But was it comparable to whatever feeling was driving this kiss of his? He didn't know. But he felt certain that if he were to question it too much, Reign might no longer be able to be by his side like this.]
[And so, for now, he focuses on this kiss and the thrill it brings to his chest, hoping that by the end of it, he might bring a smile back to Reign's face.]
